Well I live right across a mohawk here in Burnaby and am quite sure they dont carry them...Ive been in there a million of times to pay for gas by debit......The old school stations that carried them actually had advertised sandwich boards or signs out front........
But Ill keep an eye out from now on at those stations....THANX!

The one on Edmon's or the one on cascade.

Am i crazy or cant you just go to your garden and find your own dew worms?

honestly the best time to find worms on your own is on rainy nights. I walk up and down the side walks pulling worms that have come to the surface on the lawn. dont use a flash light as they tend to slide back in their holes. I'm always found those big dew worms to be too big for those small stocked rainbows. If you have a compost heap at home there will be smaller worms in there...but if you're a gardener you may not want to remove them since they are breaking down all that vegetation for you.

Stick a shovel in the ground and shake it, creating earthquake-like effect. If there are any worms there, they'll start coming out. This of course to prevent making a mess out of your garden if you were to start digging all over the place.

Yep this is the best way. I have been doing this since I was a kid.

Ever watch dirty jobs on discovery channel, thats how a company in the states harvest them . place half a broom stick in the gound just after it rains then rub a piece of ridge metal on the top of it for 5 mins then in about 10 mins you should have enough for a day of fishing.
Do worms still work?

i just wanted to point out they use a 2 foot peice of 2x4 and a heavy metal file . it is called worm grunting for people who want to research it.

Does this work for worms AND crawlers??Cause from my experience, vibrations scare off nightcawlers.

Thanx

I read somewhere that if one worm was injured and put it in with the ones you just collected it would kill the whole bunch, is that true?

I haven't done any serious nightcrawler/dew worms (is there a difference?) hunting here in BC but was pretty hardcore about it back in Ontario. Used to fish alot for carp and catfish and went through worms steadily so I needed a cheap supply.

I would head out to the golf course late at night after a heavy spring/summer rain. They would be lying thick on the turf and were vibration and light sensitive so you had to walk slowly and not shine the light directly on them.

For ease of picking I would strap 2 coffee cans to my legs so my hands could pick without havng to carry a pail. Don't think I had a headlamp...might have done the ol' flashlight in the mouth trick.

These were big worms..up to 6" or longer in length. You needed to be fast before they darted underground and and maintain a steady pull so as to pull them from the ground without breaking them in half. The coup de grace was to catch two in one hand while they were coupled together mating.  I recall I even successfully pulled off the two in each hand at the same time trick. Very cool.

My parents had a cold storage in the basement so I could keep them woms cool, fed and happy until they were needed.
